The sex education consists in educating the young people on the Procréation and of the related sensual activities. It can also have for object the expression and the discussion around the feelings in love, of the sexual practices, and the mutual respect.
Processes
With this intention, one traditionally uses anatomical cuts of the reproductive bodies masculine and female, with explanations on the modus operandi of the Spermatozoïde S in competition vis-a-vis the Ovule, often single in the Utérus. One projects sometimes their course filmed via a Microscope.In the Years 1970, it was also frequent to show scenes of Painless childbirth, in particular that in the Eau.
This education dédramatise anguishes of the neophytes. It highlights the risks related to the sexual practices (like with the sexually transmitted diseases). The studies show that the sex education does not have impact on the age of the first reports/ratios or increases it slightly. On the other hand, the anguish related on the first sexual relationships and the reports/ratios in love can be decreased by an exchange and a discussion.
The free antennas of the young radios competed with a certain sex education besides, by freely tackling these subjects with teenagers at hours for great listening. " Lovin' Fun ", first emission of this type, animated by Doc. and Difool and diffused on Fun Radio with beginning of the year 90, is an example of this type of emissions. The famous sentence " It is not sale" Doc., showed a will of dédramatiser the subjects related to the sex and to remotely put the traditional morals, which makes sex and sexual taboo.
Confusion and competition with the pornography
It is advisable to differentiate the sex education from the pornography. The first aims at educating by giving facts, in particular physiological, by explaining practices (for example, of contraception, or fight against the sexually transmitted diseases), and by allowing a free word on the subject. The second aims generally only the excitation of that which reads it or looks at it, without inevitably preoccupation with a representativeness.Nevertheless, much of young people think of having profited from a sex education, because having been connected by the means of reviews and erotic films , and especially pornographic. It is especially information on the diversity of the sexual practices, where the positions are generally successive, in order to show the anatomy of the protagonists and especially to excite the spectator.
One meets there also sometimes particular practices: Onanisme, Cunnilingus, Fellatio, Gokkun, ondinism, Scatological humor, Sodomy, Sadomasochism, etc However the relation of complicity, love or tenderness which are often related to real sexuality is generally absent from pornography.
Thus, the pornography, works fictional nonrepresentative of the current relations, does not have to be confused with an educational work and could not replace.
Homosexuality, Bisexuality
It should be noted that sexuality is generally approached by the institutions under a strictly reproductive angle and Normatif; an approach which corresponds neither to the complex reality of the human desires, neither with advanced perception that our companies have from now on sexual fact in its diversity, nor, optionally, with the laic thought which irrigates the institutions of the French Republic.Thus, the Homosexualité (and its aggregative alternative the Bisexuality) does not seem to have established among in the official sex education, and this while at the same time the old elements of right penalizing homosexuality, or its medical and psychiatric classification, belong to the past. In same time, everywhere in the world (with difficulties in the Muslim world and many companies émergeantes), the perception of the homosexual fact evolved to its recognition like a legitimate form of sexuality, increasingly protected by the law.
Certain associations mix today education with sexuality (in particular by the prevention of the practices at the risks) and with the mutual respect (against the homophobie).
Stakes
Whereas the sex education pains to develop, in particular at the school, the dependant stakes with its development remain considerable: - The behaviors at the risks (not protected sexual relations) are in increase, in particular in the young people - the rate of pregnancy (and abortion) in very the young girls remains high - the suicide attempts (dependant once on two on problems of homosexuality) are the first cause of mortality at the 12-25 years.
The taboos related to the sex, the weight of the religion and morals, the fear of homosexuality are the main brakes with a development of the sex education and its assumption of responsibility by the public authorities.
